Hey everybody, we have a special announcement.

We are starting a new Patreon-only ad-free show

called Between Imaginary Worlds.

Between Imaginary Worlds is a more casual chat show format.

In each episode I talk with different people about what they're excited about in

sci-fi fantasy, what they're looking forward to, pet peeves, and a lot more.

In the first episode I talked with my assistant producer Stephanie Billman about a competitor

to the Sims that she's excited about.

The things that make us not spend our disbelief in fantasy worlds,

and what we're looking forward to this fall.

In the second episode, which comes out today, I talk with comic book writer Judd Winnick

about a new animated Batman series on Amazon Prime,

the Trippy Children's Television

that we grew up on in the 1970s and his theory as to what he thinks Marvel is

going to do with Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom. Here's a clip from that

conversation. My goodness, where to, I say where to begin, but we can begin right at the beginning.

So they announce that Robert Downey Jr. is going to play Dr. Doe.

And one of the Russo brothers even referred to him

as Victor von Doom, which kind of,

I don't know if that was a slip,

or kind of like kills the idea

that I don't think they're actually doing this the way that we think they're going to be doing this.
